Also what's happened to Greg this season? I thought he was a really nice guy before and thought him and Nene were great together, this season he's turned into a complete jerk
I get the impression its the green eyed devil. Greg was doing really well when they met and now we have rumours he's borrowing money. I don't think he handled it.

About 3 years since it was filmed. 2 since it was broadcast.
The little prince is now two and the bashes Phaedra had for his birthday were so OTT it was hysterical. Even more so than her baby shower, which was akin to a wedding in my book.
What one year old needs 20 birthday cakes?? ( She did tone it down for his second, poor mite only got 2). But the birthday party and the cakes had to be seen to be believed.

Am I right in thinking baby number 2 is a girl? Because the poor mite is going to carry around a name that would make Jordan blush......after she's been drowned in a sea of pink and glitter.

I know we knew this already but found this interesting article about Vancouver S2.

http://www.rhovtalk.com/2013/04/no-s...2-reunion.html

It states Ronnie aint returning to S3, and that they possibly all just refused to film a reunion.

And on another part of the site they speculate about a S3:

http://www.rhovtalk.com/2013/04/will...on-3.html#more

And some sources have confirmed there will be a S3 but Slice are looking for a whole new cast but might keep some of the originals.

If they do keep some cast members then i hope its Loulia, Robin and Mary. But i wouldnt mind a whole new cast. They really need to move on from the past and kick the three witches and Bullies Jodie, Ronnie and Amanda of the show.

I still haven't worked myself up to watch the finale. Not sure if I'll bother from what I've read.
I would watch a 3rd season, but only if Jody and Amanda don't come back.
Don't get me wrong I love a bit of HW's drama between the women but this show took it way too far.

the finale for me didnt even feel like a finale weird i know it felt like it was an episode building up to it. But its Full on Bash Mary episode i think its possibly the worst one in terms of how vile Jody gets.

^^ ^^ Deadly you are spot on. It didnt feel at all like a finale to me either.

I was just glad it was over by the end. Ive never quit on a Housewives show, but I dont think I could watch another season, certainly not with Ronnie and Jody anyway. Words cannot explain how vile I find those creatures The whole season left a bad taste in my mouth. It went above and beyond.

I just feel like something went very wrong with season 2, and the fact it only had 10eps and no Reunion speaks volumes. I cant imagine why they would bother with another season.

apparently ratings weren't what Slice were happy with, will there be a S3 ? I dont know if there is then i can see a whole new Cast on board.

Maybe Slice just need to make it completely new and see how it goes. But i think also someone pointed out earlier in this thread that Slice were hoping that Vancouver would be picked up by Bravo and play in America but since that has not happened maybe the money just aint there to fund it.

Shame cause Vancouver S1 was great S2 just got letdown by the bashing of mary Every episode and that was the whole storyline for S2 there was no other storyline besides that. With Reality TV like RH they need multiple storylines to keep viewers hooked.

I mean it will be interesting to see if We ever get our own RH maybe in London ? i mean i could see ITV 2 showing it. I would like to see a London version but they would need a top cast to be able to top America's franchises.

RHOA-I think the producer was right, Kim was being rude about the song, because she was scared of it, and she didn't want to put the effort in. Kithe Cynthia's stylist said a lot without actually speaking about what Cynthia wants for her wedding. How does Nene expect to keep her "filing" private, when she's going to see divorce Lawyers on Camera?

Apollo taking out Phaedra first carrying her, then getting the baby.....Little Ayden will have to learn to walk fairly quickly. Pheadra: "Now I'm chained to this baby" Pheadra you gave birth a week ago. what did you expect? Agree with Kandi and Lawrence it sounds like Greggs "Friend" set him up. Kim's song didn't sound that different, but it was sneaky of Kim to say she hated the song, get Kandi to change it and then say "I never doubted you"

"Why have men got to feed you to talk to you?" "Sometimes women have to shut up and let a man talk" and Dr Tyi-e wonders why he's single. He called himself a Doctor, but then at the end told Sheree not to call him a Doctor....odd. Nene shouldn't have shown the website to her colleagues on her first day at work. Can't see Nene going through with the divorce.

Well, not quite a homegrown UK version, but Bravo have picked up a show called "Ladies of London", if you ask me its basically going to be like a Housewives of London type show.

Heres the blurb:
Ladies of London (working title)
Set in the glittering, class-conscious city of London, this new series follows a group of elite British socialites and American expats enjoying the upper crust of the high society world. And while these Brits and Americans all live in the same city, have been married to rock stars, dated royalty, are darlings of the paparazzi and enjoy wealth beyond belief, they are still culturally, worlds apart.

And a link to the announcement on Bravos website,where the show is listed, among all its new an returning shows.
Bravo announces new and returning shows

If I remember right last year when there were first rumours about this show, the cast was said to include Patsy Kensit and Caprice. Not sure if thats still the case now though. Im interested to see this show though, it could either be awful, or be brilliant. I guess we will see when it airs!

Oh, and I toally agree about Season 1 of Vancouver, it was a fab show then. I loved it. I had such hopes for season 2, its a shame it turned into the mess that it did. If they do go for a season 3, then maybe a whole new cast is the best way to save it.

A RH style show based in UK could be interesting. I hope it doesn't end up anything like Made In Chelsea though, which is ridiculously dull when you compare it with Real Housewives

It says Ladies of London 'Working Title' so maybe it is a Real Housewives ? I juse hope it doesnt feature Z-list Celebs god can you imagine if Katie Price is on it:sleep:

It would be good unknown cast with maybe 1 or 2 well know women.

Its possible, i know a number of the current RH shows weren't originally planned to be part of the franchise but were renamed after filming and turned into housewives spin offs. (New York and Miami)


When are we going to get the season 5 preview for New Jersey?! I cant wait any longer

I assume she has "staff" to do this, as she seems too precious to do any dirty work. I think she is great to watch though, and wonder if she "plays up" to camera with her airs and graces, not wanting the human person to really show. Expecting her husband to carry her into the house after they got back from hospital was priceless Today's episode with her was contrary. Phaedra acted emotionally removed from the baby, but then seemed moved by the photos they had had taken. I was also taken by the fact that she gave her husband some presents including the baby photo. This seemed a touching scene but in the usual Phaedra way (don't get mushy girl!). Surely hubby should be showering her with gifts,.Aswell as being strangely touching showing Phaera with feelings, the scene also reminded me of how grabbing some of the other HW are, expecting their men to be the ones with money.

Just watched the first two episodes of Kim's "Don't Be Tardy"

I loved them. I ought to hate Kim for so many reasons, her total aversion to any work apart from pushing babies out, her sense of entitlement and her gold digging ways.
The trouble is she's television gold and is so totally different than around the other women of Atlanta.
Her scummy Mother has filed a law suit for access to her two granddaughters and is writing a tell all book about Kim, including her stripper past.
I couldn't care less if she stripped, she had two young children to support, though being kept by the rather ugly and extremely sleazy Big Poppa was beyond the ale for me.

But she and Kroy are still madly in love, the boys are completely adorable and she must have done something right. Adrianna and Brielle have grown into smashing kids. I think that she was determined she'd have a great relationship with them, unlike her own mother.
The one thing Kim excels at is being a great, if lenient Mum. There's happiness among the f bombs and other swearing flying around
Though whether her kids will ever get a work ethic I have no idea. Loved the shots of her directing moving and sorting things out while others scurried around and she was horizontal on the bed.

I think I'm going to enjoy this.

After listening to her trying to caterwaul on the ITV 2 show this afternoon, it was nice not to have my ears bleeding!

Well i have been watching Atlanta over the past week and now im on S3. It took a while to get use to but it is a good show. NeNe is obviously the best one, Kim i cant work out if i like her or not she seems ok sometimes then just blows it in the next episode however her song is bloody stuck in my head now I love Kandi though Couldnt believe her ex - Fiance died!

Im not a fan of This new Phandora woman or whatever her name is the one married to a convict, Shere is same old self you have to laugh with what she says sometimes.

I was however not a fan of the S2 reunion i thought it was ind of average so im hoping S3's one is better with some more arguing :P

Just wanted to share a little Tea for all us Atlanta fans......

We all knew it was coming but now its official.......I Dream of Nene: The Wedding!!
Nene Leakes confirms spin-off show

Im super excited for this. Nene is fabulous to watch and Im so glad we are getting to see the wedding, like there was ever any doubt! Apparently Cynthia will be a bridesmaid, along with that trashbag Marlo (WHY?! The woman was awful!), and Kim will be on the guest-list.

Atlanta are killing it with the spin offs arent they? We have Kim, Kandi, now Nene and Phaedra is getting her own aswell.

Wow I can't imagine ever being able to sit through a whole show of Kim Then again I don't know if I'd ever watch any of the housewives spin offs, except maybe NeNe

RHOA-Didn't think Sheree would get the Agency offer. But Nene is right it's more to do with Sheree being a little well known rather than her "talent" "Well I didn't say I wanted to go on vacation with Peter I'll go by myself" How romantic Cynthia. Dwight stirring between Cynthia and Pheadra? Sheree probably is the lead character in that play. Kandi seemed suspicious.

Kim eating Pizza under the fat buring lazer.....Cynthia's Friendship contract.....why? Sheree's cameo was wooden, it was like she was reading from an autocue. Nene forgave Peter quickly. She's very giggly around him. Kroy being Pheadra's secret son. Going by the coming up clips. Pheadra's not very happy with Kim.

Not a Sheree fan, I'm afraid. It astounds me that she can keep a straight face while bragging about having the salon available after hours, her fabulous talents in fashion design, acting etc etc. In fact there is nothing that Sheree cant do bigger and better than anyone else that we aren't going to hear about it.

Of course, I do realise that deep down she's totally insecure and unhappy which is where her constant self praise comes in. Let's face it, no one else is going to big her up unless they are being paid or want to use the fact that she's semi famous.

If I didn't know the real reason for the divorce settlement and how she totally screwed over her ex, then I might feel a modicum of pity for her. But not only is she a liar, she's doesn't seem to possess an iota of talent in anything. Not one of her little schemes lasts or is successful.

Talking of talent, I creased up when Kim went to the choreography class, got bored, asked them to show the routine, lasted a few seconds then lay down on the floor totally disinterested.
Oh Kandi, why oh why did you suggest her opening your showcase for you? And Kim on the road without a fag break? Are you kidding me?

I am so enjoying Atlanta S3 again, it's ages since I watched it and was probably when it took over from NY as my favourite franchise. I hadn't forgotten how gobsmacked I was for Cynthia marrying Peter. He's such a douchebag, also did my eyeroll at Cynthia's friendship contract and another one at Phaedra's mommying skills.
They are both new, it takes a while for them to establish their characters, where they fit in the group and for their story lines to emerge.

Give both Phaedra and Cynthia time. It really does get much better.

Oh dear lawd. Gretchen has proposed to Slimey so we have three HoWife shows on their weddings.

Tamra & Eddie....just "No" it's fake and there is zero chemistry there.

Gretchen & Slimey......well suited. Both interested in shallow exteriors and the mighty buck, although I think there may be a bit of genuine feelings in there.

Nene & Greg.....Inevitable. Those two have too much going for them not to get remarried. Deep down Nene's very traditional, she needs to be married.
I did think the divorce was a ratings ploy, but rewatching S3 I don't think so now. I really think she was hurt and coming on top of all the drama of looking for her real dad she was feeling raw. So good luck to them all.

Of course nothing will top the BEST wedding on any franchise....Lisa and Ken's 40th marriage vowal renewal. With the ever present Giggy hamming it up. That was so romantic I even shed a little tear.

(And that's most definitely a first for a HoWife event! I'm usually watching with a block of salt never mind a pinch )

Agree with part of that sentence. Sheree is funny, but that's only because she's so delusional.
